You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

(um, I'm confused why you list what our morale is at, when there was no mention of morale in the card)

That's because if you are executed and turn out to be human, the fleet loses 1 Morale. (Of course, if you're executed and turn out to be a Cylon, they're ok with that.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Good Doctor, part duex)

I think the obvious choice is to give Roslin back the Presidency. She's still in the Office, after all.

If I recall, Cally & Roslin where the only ones in round one to *not* be checked for cylon loyalty. Not saying they are, because I don't know. And haven't had any suspicions either way. Although ND in past games played his toasterhood rather close to vest. I hate to say it, but Tigh did do REAL well last turn. I doubt he's a toaster, based on that. I think he should stay President.

But hey, I'm just the guy with 3 loyalty cards, so... no clue if my words will be heard or not.

Either way, sharing only puts me in jeopardy.

Maybe you should have thought of that before using your OPG? Publish and be frakked, sir!

Or not. I'm not really seeing why you think you'll be MORE in jeopardy by standing mute.

Eta: Just for my own clarification, are you in favor of being executed, or losing cards?

Ah, ok. That's a Pegasus rule not familiar with. It's my first Rodeo with killing of characters. Thanks for clarification.

Well I clearly was spooked. I mean. She was bossing everyone around, and I had a gut feeling. Am I an idiot, well yes, a blubbering horny dog. I act impulsively.

Publish? Um. Well. I'd recommend *NOT* giving her Presidency, that's for sure.

(May the Gods of Kobol keep me from being executed!!)

Meanwhile, Baltar has opted to draw Purple for his Delusional Intuition.

Here's a whackadoo technical question. Suppose Baltar doesn't actually come out and explicitly tell us the result of his Cylon Detector, and we do execute him, and he turns out to be human and omnis gets a new character. Can the new character reveal what Baltar knew?

Yes. Apparently the replacement character inherits his notes or something.

Um. I don't like the sound of that. Was I too subtle when I said "Don't make her President"???

Interesting. Well, there's no need to execute Baltar out of scientific curiosity on that point, anyway.

Eta: You were a little cryptic, Dr. Gaius "Subtlety" Baltar. But I wasn't advocating anything, just curious about the hypothetical.
